ha

mep

i'm just glad my vpn actually works.

clear
exit

grrrr

how do I forward NAT traffic (raw traffic) with iptables ?

i just want a simple boot-cd which gives my puter an ip-address and that fires up a ssh-server

i want to know that one myself

can't be THAT hard to get something like that.

i think you have to add a new chain

does anyone know how to empty kde's "trash can" from the console im so low on space I can't start kde.

iptables -A [for add] "name_of_chain" -f port … something like that

do they got a gentoo install handbook for installing gentoo for a dual boot format? cuz i have windows already installed… or does it matter if i make the boot partition has /dev/hda2?

yeah except it'd have to have a static password, which is not something most people are ok with

the handbook mentions what to do if you are unfortunate enough to have windows also

clepto just install gentoo onto whatever partition(s) is/are empty

ok well it called for a /boot partition which i didnt make.. but im going to…

i don't care - i have a gfx-less box lying around i want to install gentoo on. so if i get it up and running it would get secured properly.

the boot partition is pretty irrelevent

Wa_Fu_Sheng, I know but i need to set (protocol) -p * or something some way? any ides?

i have about 14 gigs free altogether
oh

use at least a separate /home

you should be able to boot the gentoo livecd and start sshd and set the password without looking at the prompt if you type well

netcom, I forgot what else
if i was on gentoo or linux in general right now i could tell u

if you have loads of space i recommend separate /home /usr /tmp /var /var/portage and /usr/portage you might want lvm/mdadm but i never bother

i forgot to meantion: i don't have keyboard/mouse for it either - the mobo got hosed when i did some roughhousing with my cellar-stuff xD

hmmm

er 14G isn't enough for that, nm

i can understand most of those needing to be separate but why a separate /var/portage and /usr/portage?

well you can symlink /var/portage/tmp to /tmp
portage tree and distfiles Wa_Fu_Sheng

anyone wanna help me with /etc/conf.d/net ?

Wa_Fu_Sheng, I found this line "The protocol name can be prefixed by a `!', to invert it, such as `-p ! TCP' to specify packets which are not TCP." but ! doesnt work at all

and how big should each of those be (percentage of proportion to one another)? for me my /usr (which is symlinked as /opt also) is the biggest, then /, then /tmp and /var, then /home, then /boot smallest

try net.example, check the options and ask specific questions - i'm sure there will someone be here willing to help you

netcom I dunno. as i said, i haven't tried a gentoo installation since 2005

my problem is, when I use wpa_supplicant with conf.d/net, it no longer does dhcpcd on network start

sounds cool Wa_Fu_Sheng

k

but i hope to get back to working on it again

instead I have to manually type dhcpcd eth1 , etc.

allow about 15G for portage or use tmpwatch/eclean
er for /usr sorry

hmmm

about 10 max for portage
mine is 5 but i haven't cleaned it yet

yeah my /usr is always my biggest and my portage folders got used so badly i had to move them over into /usr by symlinking them (read: kludge lol)

10 for /var/tmp should manage OOo

same when i was using debian with .deb's

heh
emerge tmpwatch aiui

tho i did not compile alot of source
what is aiui ?
i shoulda used tmpwatch more aggressively

sorry, never worked with wpa_supplicant till now

as i understand it

though i'm gonna setup a network next week, so may i'll be able to answer you then

wtf ???
lol

hehe
SCNR ;P

ok now WTF is "wtf" besides the obvious lol

that worked
now I'm going to update gtk-engines-qtcurve

you might need to fsck your fs first, Wa_Fu_Sheng

ROFLMAO

who needs to fsck their friends?

LMAO

er i beg your pardon, Gentle`?

with some of my female friends i wouldnt mind that lol

oh man i am in so much trouble
can we calm it please?
*ahem*

there's nothing funny about a bad fsck trashing your existing data

this is true

now please, don't let the operators see igli made us quote some fscking jokes about fscking unfunny things, yes?

and if he's setting up his part's he may well need to check his fs
gee thanks Gentle`
hehe

fsck should NOT trash good data. if your filesystem's fsck trashes good data, you must be running reiser.

?
it connected on its own?

yay!
your network is up i take it lufthanza_?

honestly i didnt even know fsck would even try to trash data

yes

or good data at that

don't know why
maybe wpa just takes forever to fully associate

hmm

it shouldn't but Reiser4….oh never mind

hahahahahaha

nfc about wifi sorry

ok ok ok ..
i liked ReiserFS tho … i still use it on debian
not 4 tho i think

run wpa_supplicant in non-daemon mode
and check

heh i know too many people who got bit
nice for portage tree tho

but ReiserFS v3 is fine right ????

true

that's what i use and no problems there yet

it's a source of much debate, Wa_Fu_Sheng

hmmmm
so what could cause a problem when using ReiserFS version 3?

well Reiser3 is supposedly 'stable'

because i am fairly sure i dont have 4
if that jerk hadnt probably killed his wife we might have a better FS
is anyone going to take over development of ReiserFS 4?

murderfs

fellow inmates?

LOL

isn't it still allegedly?

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179796 has discussion on reiser3 if you want background

[R]: yes, yes it is

LMAO @ murderfs
ty igli

ricerfs, Wa_Fu_Sheng?
yw

lol i am not really asian ya know

i think he killed her

that wasn't my joke Wa_Fu_Sheng

i just picked a cool-sounding name tho huh

#gentoo-chat please
nah Wu-Fu.. would've been cool

well this has me baffled
anyone wanna take a look at my conf.d/net and see what I'm doing wrong?

How come when I run emerge -uDNavp world portage is trying to install some new packages I haven't heard of and don't think I need.

nopaste if someone wants to look (and knows about wifi) they will lufthanza_

cuz something you have installed depends on something, that depends on them

(that's not protocol for the rest of IRC mind)

add a t to that, and see what's pulling them in.

ah… thought I had the t… my bad

man that -t stuff is hard to parse
i know it's reversed

here is my conf.d/net if anyone is interested in helping: http://pastebin.com/m53bc0d25
did anyone reply? my net went down for some reason

are you trying to do wireless over wired as well?

no

don't ask if someone wants to help, just give a explanation of what you are trying to do and what actually happens, pasting a conf like that without context is confusing, if anyone knows how to help they'll speak up

hey guys, having some trouble setting up my PC as a router

i already did

eth1 is your wireless interface, correct?. eth0 is your ethernet one ?

yes

The live cd install method doesn't seem to recognize my network device. How can I get support on for the device so I can continue with the install?

i can post my wpa_supplicant.conf too if you need that

ok, why do you need dhcpcd in the modules section? Do you have a good reason for config_eth0 being null?

wireless, or wired?

pity

so it doesn't bother me trying to connect when it has no connecting cord

Skunky, Neither seem to work. lsmod shows my wireless as Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG which is quite common and shouldn't have any problems. The gigabit ethernet is Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B

modules=("wpa_supplicant") should be sufficent instead of what's written, no?

the wired should work. wireless on the livecd is problematic, at best.

yes, I had hoped adding dhcpcd might give it the idea I wanted dhcpcd run after wpa but my hopes were dashed

but, if you wanna install gentoo, you don't need a gentoo livecd, any livecd will do.

oh and remove those dhcpcd_eth1 entries
that whole line
that's the problem

ok, testing

The only other one I have at this point is Sabayon, networking is fine on it.

also you might be interested in ifplugd
mzbot, gentoo lufthanza_ ifplugd

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=6

I didn't see in the handbook how to use a different livecd for this install.

it's still not using dhcpcd after loading the network
i'll look into it

tstrimple, uhh
tstrimple, boot Sabayon
open root term
follow doc

does a manual dhcpcd eth1 work?

yes, that's the only way i'm able to reach the internet right now

hi, i have a wired network but i'm trying to add in a wireless laptop by using a linksys wireless router to sort of act as a bridge between wired and wireless, so i have wireless turned off and nothing plugged int

any other messages on booting eg. waiting for eth1 to start

hrm :/ how would I go about installing this?
http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/index.html
i don't really get what it wants me to do under the Code section.

http://pastebin.com/m31ff3a76

Gentle` what are you doing with dd that it is taking so long?

dhcp renewal may take some time…

mind your tab completion

it didn't use to when I was using iwconfig

hahahahahahha how did u know i was doing that

I have an… unusual problem. I'm trying to install Gentoo on a laptop whose only connection to the outside world is a USB WiFi dongle that the LiveCD doesn't recognize (but I have successfully used it in linux based hosting services before). What are my
options?

networkless install

did you try ndiswrapper

on a LiveCD?

sure
what livecd you got

minimal

heh

hrm

I can go burn a universal if needed

knoppix seespotrun?

i used the Knoppix liveCD

hey, that's an idea

yeah it's the boom imo

let me give that a shot

doesn't Gentoo also have a LiveCD ?

that'll tell me more about this laptop and how well the videocard will play in modern Linux too

Knoppix comes with many drivers installed if those don't work, you can always use ndiswrapper on that

eix knoppix gives a nice util for tricky X configs

I'm getting an error when updating world on kde-base/kdelibs. Can anyone help?

did you just do expat?

expat?

DOH!

friendly12345:

what's the error?

i found out what was wrong using wpa_cli

might you know what this is actually doing? http://pastebin.com/md348ea0

it's several lines.. plus im in tty and i don't know how to copy/paste

does your mouse work?

for some reason it fails to connect to my network several times before it actually makes it

emerge kdelibs | wgetpaste (emerge wgetpaste first if you don't have it)
what;s tla?

wait… will Knoppix be happy with 64MB RAM?

well, it was on here http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/

hmm
then no

it'll boot, but that's about it. I don't expect the GUI to run very well

also, how is ATI M4 / Rage 128 support in modern X?

working

you won't need GUI much anyway, just use terminal

good roothorick

I remember it being troublesome in the Xfree 3.x series
but we've come a long way
cool

yup

wow, you have the same video card I do :O

old card? probably be fine. 2d support works pretty much anywhere

I doubt that, unless you're on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop

Meh, almost the same. still RAGE 128 series though

gentoo will cane it, but you might want to set up a desktop as BINHOST

can you elaborate on that?
3D would be nice but really isn't necessary

http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/html/default-linux/x86/All/ is a gentoo binhost roothorick
ie binary pkgs

Anyone have experience installing islsm drivers?

but you'd need another machine running gentoo for that roothorick
(if you wanted custom USE that is)

you think RAM might become a hindrance with compiling?

im torn between trying to install a new kernel or just keep my current working kernel…

i'm wondering how big the hd is more roothorick

it's a PIII-M 850, it certainly has the muscle to do a stage1 unaided

this doesn't seem to be doing anything..?

oh. 40GB, I had to replace it to get anything working

its only one 2.6.* larger

oops, i'm used to nopaste, but it has much larger deps

then agian i'll need to recompile nvidia kqemu etc

I mean, the 40GB is what I put in there. It originally had a 10GB that had serious issues

anyone know how to pipe to wgetpaste?
module-rebuild
should be fine, but compiles will be slow if you're running X

that'll auto do it all for me?
neato

yup

what a great app

I'm seriously considering a RAM upgrade, I can get it all the way to 512MB and that will run me $66-ish

that's gentoo for ya, Obnautikus
do it, and it'll be sweet

i wanna kiss whoever makes apps liek that

any chance I could get Firefox to boot on it with its current specs?

hello all. Can anyone tell me if anyone has an ebuild for the R Procedural Language for Postgresql called PL/R (http://www.joeconway.com/plr/doc/index.html)?

johnm@gentoo.org and FuzzyRay

or openoffice for that matter?

ugh
i wouldn't

it's going to be my work comp
so if it can't run OOo I'm in trouble

if you do a binhost you've got much more chance
but OOo no way imo
buy the RAM man

okay
now that I know everything is working nicely

should i try and grab nopaste then?

it took me $260 and ~8 hours of work to get it to boot anything at all

one sec i'll look up wgetpaste options; try man wgetpaste

no manual entry

wgetpaste –help ?
just waiting for update -i wgetpaste to resolve (i don't have it)

just options

sheesh that's tricky innit?
it works here with emerge -pv blah | wgetpaste ?

maybe my connection's just borked or something

ok
well kdelibs takes a long time to build

(wgetpaste) # if you want to see output

er gah
that won't work

how long does emerge xfce4 take?

wgetpaste

emerge kdelibs|tee (wgetpaste)

should boot partition be ext2? all examples in the handbook show it being ext2 and everything else being ext3

yeah

i dont think i would want to use ext3 for boot at all

add a /home partition tho krzee

thx

if something happens like a corrupted journal with ext3 your boot partition gets screwed up and u cant get in

generally make sure it's a filesystem that you compiled into your kernel so you can get to it if your system starts to blow up

besides, you dont need ext3 on /boot because it would hardly be updated or in much use during a crash
yeah what root said too

ext2 is usually chosen for its proven rock-solid stability

hmm well something seems to be working

dont think ill want /home but ill want /var and /usr, this will mostly be a mailserver and my vpn endpoint, ill be the only user
cool thank you =]

ok yw

15 minutes maximum

hmm

:O

im looking forward to learning the gentoo way of doing things, ive been a long time fbsd user

* 29 in total woah

have you noticed any major differences which you do/do not like?

er, is ethernet basically plug and play by using dhcpcd?

hmm, im getting an error "nothing was recieved"

well the lack of an installer strikes me as odd, i cant comment beyond that yet

most of the time

ah well off it goes

neat

that's the initiation

you need a pluggyplace in the back of your computer though, right? :O

lol

if you can't make it thru that, gentoo ain't for you :p

"ethernet card"

unless you're using GLI ofc

no, the Matrix is in place for that purpose

:O

igli, nice, looks like ill like this os/channel
=]

hmm I guess it is kind of 'odd', but it is virtually failproof as opposed to most GUI installers

hrm. i need one of 'em "ethernet cards"

hm, when i use irrecord to record my remote's buttons, a couple buttons have the same code
like zoom and play/pause
is this normal?

i recommend #gentoo-chat as well, you'll need a break from here

hehe

I ordered 2 256MB sticks known to work with my laptop. That'll max out its RAM capacity and hopefully give my some smoother cruising than what you were predicting

er, can anyone confirm whether "emerge islsm" works?

friendly12345, ya and its not a biggie, i wont be installing often, using the os after the install will be what matters

yeah it will, my desktop runs nice on 512 roothorick

mine does too
but half a gig of VRAM and a decent proc helps a lot too

anyone have problems with gcc 4.1.2 and the latest glibc?

mine runs nice on 3GB of ram

-falign helps me roothorick

my next desktop will have 2GB and three extra slots to go up to a max of 8GB

i can do 16GB in mine

but that's years down the road

4 x 4GB sticks

try 4 x 1TB sticks :O

ffs

maybe, someday, that will be a reality :O

most people don't have more than 1TB TOTAL DISK SPACE right now

ido..

"psh, you have 16gb? loser."

my server will have a mere 1.2TB once I get the upgrades

:O

i've got about 5TB of space

1 TB drives are about $500 i believe

97% full

4

hm

4 400GB drive RAID5 for 1.2TB total storage

i get 500GB drives for $80

:O
:/

needless to say, it'll be years before I upgrade again

:O yeah

I have about 1/2 TB right now on my desktop

i've got more
:P

hehehehehe :O

hahahaha

i've got 30gb in my desktop

640 here, 2 x 320's

hell i have that just in my laptop and another 100gb yet to upgrade soon

1 20gb and another 10gb drives :O

if i can ever find where the heck i packed it away at

#gentoo-chat will welcome you Wa_Fu_Sheng, and roothorick, the other two are already there

loll
okokok

okay, I'll be quiet now
I have more important things to do anyway

no just /join the other room ffs

Where am I supposed to extract the stage3 tarball? It isn't quite clear on that. Does it go on the root filesystem too?
Or does it just need a temporary home

tar xvjpf stage3-* -C /mnt/gentoo.

thanks

in the chroot iow tstrimple
er chroot dir that is

so if im making 5 partitions in addition to boot and swap, should all 5 be extended partitions, and only boot and swap be primary? from what i know the answer would be yes…

mind doing me a quick favor?

dunno if / needs to be primary tho..
i would assume it doesnt matter because once the kernel is loaded from /boot it shouldnt matter if its primary or logical, is that right?

yup that's right

later

thx
im remote so its best i check these things =]

I recommend you go for one boot and one lvm pv though

http://suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=5857 ———————— on post in that thread wtf is he saying he did in fstab?
*second post
something about a sub mount

portage still down?

maybe not
wiki's up

rss is up
can't sync though

want to do me a quick favor?

I think he meant supermount

depends on the favor

can you find out if "emerge -pf islsm" works

Hey I got a question… everytime im connect via ssh Im getting this error that it can't find known_hosts
so i've tried to remerge the pacakge.. but its hard masked?

why are you trying to prune islsm?

hi. is there a live CD for x86? can't find it in the download list. only i686 and amd64.

pretend?
p4r0l3 i thought emerge -p was pretend

hehe my bad, it's much too late into the night
you're right
no ebuild to satisfy islsm

damn :/

vice-versa: would you have any idea what the solution hes hinting to is?

seriously.. what happened to ssh?
#Masked for remove from tree. ??

try openssh

does emerge -pf tla work?

that I have, but im sorry.. is there a diffrence between the two?
in hwo they are used?

Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.

'ssh' is commercial afaik

there a way to reload that without a reboot? im remote and admins are gone for the night
or shall i just wait til tomorrow?

why not just reboot?

he is remote.

you have to close everything using the drive, including swap

no, but the export SETUP_CDROM=/media/dvd comment may be of some use

ah :O

ahh

then it can reread. if your rootfs is on the drive, reboot is the only way

swap was the issue
thanx

hmm ok so ssh still works the same way, however .. would you happen to knwo why im getting this

Anyone have experience with islsm drivers?

Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/broken/.ssh/known_hosts).

can't write to that file for some reason

check permissions

It doesn't exist.
lol

the dir .ssh doesnt exist?

check that ~/.ssh exists.. can't open a file in a dir that doesn't exist

Which i have no idea why..

is there space on the hd?

well as a normal user, permission is denied to that folder, is that normal?

do you have perms to write in /home/broken if .ssh doesnt exist?

it does exist
known_hosts does not.

who owns .ssh?

well it is under my user.
however permission is denied.
broken@home ~ $ cd ~/.ssh/
cd: /home/broken/.ssh/: Permission denied

show me ls -l /home/broken/.ssh
you prolly used ssh after sudo

total 0

and made the dir with root
show me ls -l /home/broken/|grep .ssh

shows up nothing.

take out the .
oh oh

nothign.

show me ls -la /home/broken/|grep .ssh
hehe

9

heh
chmod 700 .ssh
dirs need +x

why did this just suddenly happen

entering a dir is executing it
ild guess you did a chmod 600 .ssh
or someone/something did…

lol
Now its permantley adding them, so thats good.
thx.

np
Triffid_Hunter, that worked =]

morning

Firefox, misbehaves when it comes to flash.. heh.
sup

ive heard people in #ubuntu complain about that too, in all cases ive seen it wasnt firefox but was actually what the people installed to handle flash
(yes i use ubuntu dual boot on my macbookpro :-p )

i used the wrapper.
(64 bit system)

I have filled my partition with built packages from portage. How do I most conveniently examine which packages take up how much space?
Or is there a way to automatically unmerge packes where are not dependent on world?

you can cd to /usr/portage/packages/ALL and do ls -l|less or browse around with whatever you like to use there.
you can also try and remove the -b option in make.conf and emerge will stop building packages..

Sorry I meant to remove the built packages.
Oh sorry my terminology isn't great, I mean to say installed packages.

To sort certain files in the directory and to show
the biggest file first, do
$ du -a | sort -n -r | more

rm does a good job at removing things if you don't mind command line; there are _TONS_ of gui filemanagers about.

hardcampa, try qsize

uh, you need a bigger hard drive ’tis all.

i mean harlequin516

My entire partition contains only the genkernel stuff and the portage installed packages. I want to unmerge the ones I don't use and the ones that are no longer dependent on world.
Yeah, I know size solves everything

on the live CD, if i click recommended layout, it doesn't write that table instantly does it? i closed it, reopened it, and its the same table

qsize?

harl, emerge -C or –unmerge is how you unermerge stuff.

harlequin516, qsize pkgname, will tell you package size

Yeah qsize seems to be what I need, though I guess I have to make some tough decisions.
uYeah qsize seems to be what I need, though I guess I have to make some tough decisions./u

oh now thats anoying…
my laptop powered off for no aparent reason while i was compiling the kernel…
bah im just going to start over

anyone have quick access to a terminal?

um yeah whats up?

can you do me a favor? try "emerge -pf islsm_usb" and see if it works

oh heh sorry im not in gentoo at the moment

oh :O

im trying to install it

heh, thanks

sucker crashed while compiling the kernel so i am starting all over again

:O
are you using liveCD?

yeah

probably overheated.. laptops are notorious for having hopelessly inadequate cooling

well no actually
im using the minimum
yeah im suspecting thats the case
and im new to gentoo so its taking me alot of work to figure all this out…
i was weaned on fedora and the like
never had to compile my own kernel

hi guys
I have an apache2 init script but when I reboot the server host this service doesn't start

I'm using fedora at work atm.. desktop part seems to work, although I had to manually set up most of the package manager's internals before it would let me install anything

when you manually run the script does it start?

but when I execute it manually the service works pretty well
krzee, yes

hehe, yeah, compiling is fun

well so far i kinda like the modularity of gentoo

Kalavera maybe something in your /etc/conf.d/apache2 is making it angry?

but its way complicated

Triffid_Hunter, what I need to review in /etc/conf.d/apache2?

and im using an older laptop

yeah, but that's because you're seeing all the choices that can be made rather than all the ones your distro designed decided wasn't too confronting for the target audience
designer*

and my only point of referance is this for the hardware http://www.psychosis.net/evo-linux/

have you had any luck in wifi?

i have a prism chipset pcmcia card that uses hostap drivers so no problems yet

ah, lucky :O

im using my ethernet connection becuase its faster right now though

hehe

Kalavera, have you looked through logs to see if they give an indication?

anyone else have a open gentoo terminal?

I don't see any error on logs

I find it a bit boring to su into root everytime i wanna do things to bring up my wifi and etc, but is there a good reason i shouldnt chown those files to regular user ?

are you remote or can you see it booting?

so, on conf.d/apache2 I see graceful I changed it to restart
I am remote

http://tinyurl.com/2kveor best damn wifi card ever made

but I am rebooting the server at this moment

clepto, the 500mW alfa?

Senao NL-2511cd ext2 (super)
nah its 250 MW

Kalavera, how about start

well doesn't work

says emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "islsm_usb".

*

blast
gotta do it the HARD way then
thanks a bunch, though, Triffid_Hunter

what, check bugs.gentoo.org and write an ebuild if there's nothing?

gentoo-wiki down again or just ultrapopulated ?

will linux-wlan-ng drivers work with iwconfig / other Linux wireless tools / kismet?

No idea how to write a ebuild :O

because for my particular dongle I don't have any other option unless I feel like messing with ndiswrapper

roothorick, what chipset it is?

have to install "tla" or something now, and i have no idea what "tla" is or how to install it :O

Prism 2 (USB)

it's about as easy as compiling things manually.. few articles on gentoo wiki and gentoo.org, hit google cache if it's down

i think it should be up
just slow :

rebooting . . .
I see squid starts ok any form to do squid starts apache?

god Knoppix is slow

:O
are you trying to get wifi?

yes

why not use ndiswrapper?

that would involve trying to find a driver for this dongle, which I'm not too crazy about. I've also never used it before

hermes ~ # cat /var/log/apache2/startuperror.log
Syntax OK

I only see that after rebooting

do you have the cd that came with your thingamajig?

no

hmm. what kinda thing do you have?

stupid question here but in fdisk what is ext3 file system listed as?

D-Link DWL-122 USB WiFi adapter

I think as Linux

roothorick

clepto:

kk

i'm using D-LINK DWL-120 USB WiFi adapter :O

when I do that /etc/init.d/apache2 status I see this status: started
but I don't see apache working

seespotrun, tried zd1211 driver?

Any reason why after emerging fluxbox "exec startfluxbox" wouldn't work (on a brand new install)?

seespotrun, you trying to break wep with this or just get wifi working?

just to get my system recognizing the thing
which it absolutely refuses to do

?
seespotrun, tried zd1211 driver?

and i fogot a G in there, it's DWL-G120

oh

not yet

then its not prism2

it is
prism54 chip

prism2 is b only

seriously?

in any case, zd1211 didn't work for me

i'm pretty sure it has prism54

well prism54 != prism2

Hrm. the windows driver is prisma02.inf, so maybe i thought that it was it

heh

trying to use the islsm drivers, but i have no idea how you work the thing :/

The DWL-G120 is based on the GlobespanVirata PRISM GT chipset
from a quick google

ISLAM DRIVERS?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dwl-g120+chipset&btnG=Google+Search

islsm?

morning

because that's the wrong command

which rev. is it tho?

b1

ya its prism GT usb

drazak, what's the right one?

~/.xinitrc

that's all you truely need

drazak, ah, the wiki host lies

yes

meh, the prism54 drivers should work

drazak, but wondering, fluxbox doesn't pull in xorg-x11 right?
Or does it not need it

'startx'
that runs your .xinitrc and starts xorg-x11

can you make sense out of these directions? http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/index.html

seespotrun, http://www.mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?p=69897

just been reading that, it says the driver is still shaky at best

drazak, then no, I emerged fluxbox on a fresh install and startx was not found, I am emerging xorg-x11 on his comp then

oh, you meant in portage

drazak, indeed

you need firmware as well as the kernel module

They're all I got, however :O

drazak, thanks anyway

Can someone help me get my laptop specific buttons to work, not sure what i need or where to start, i have the minmal kde installation

I've tried ndiswrapper, emerge prism54-firmware, configuring kernel, but none have worked so far

it only depends on some of the libs, not on xorg-x11 itself
IE. so you could use xfree86

drazak, hm?

it doesn't actually depend on xorg-x11

hi

it only depends on a few libs from it, so you could possibly use xfree86

drazak, I am unaware of what xfree86

it's an alternative to xorg-x11
it's not quite as developed however

ive got a x86_64 pci-system with an netgear wg311t. i installed madwifi-ng and wirelesstools, and setup my kernel with wireless suport. the dev appears in lspci, udev loads a driver, but there is no device shown. neither with ifconfig nor with iwconfig.

drazak, oh well, it's ok I'll xorg him, haha

nothing in ifconfiga -a?
er, ifconfig, not ifconfiga, hah

said so.

no, you said in ifconfig, not ifconfig -a

*sigh*

anyways, is the kernel module in lsmod?
and if so, is it bound to the right device?

sec…
just rebooting the sys

hi, can i see somehow which packages i have installed?

How can I start a program (i.e. Azureus) over ssh and have it run on the sshed machine?

ssh HOST 'command'
or

drazak, thanks again

ssh host, then start a screen session

btdownloadcurses.py ftw

if you need to do something in the program first the first option is bad

for x-progs you need to have x11-forwarding enabled.

oic, azureus is x, wasn't sure

i have a question, im still working on the disk in the install process… http://pastebin.com/m3f0a7fde

ichdasich, I don't need that, I just want it to start there, not use it there
…. er here

no idea why it is mounting 143G as sda3 when fdisk shows I only made 5G for sda3

does blacklist work in gentoo?

then you need to export $DISPLAY correctly

ichdasich, I don't get why, I basically want it to start in my home machine, then stop my ssh session and leave it running

oh scratch that
i figured it out, sorry for asking so soon

heh

i had made the filesystem before repartitioning, had to remake the filesystem again

that would help
i knew there was something missing

Do you have any idea how I would go about installing that driver?

hi to all i have a intelDG965WH motherboard, and after grub setup and reboot, the system don't boot. some other with same problem?

what error?

No bootable devices — insert boot disk and press any key

right

but i setup usually with root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

did you set the partition as bootable?
some motherboards are picky about that

argh! no
i set now

hehe

that might help
some motherboards just go with the first partition

is there a place where I can get "Running Gentoo Linux" case stickers?

:O

cafepress

where's it running to?

do they make actual case badges though?
as opposed to flimsy paper stickers

I think so?

hi drazak

hi kash

I don't see anything appropriate in a quick search.

the hell? the guy apparently has a 802.11b version of my adapter? how does that work

le sigh
http://www.cafepress.com/officialgentoo/618147

i've compiled and loaded the tun module, but i can't seem to use the tun0 interface…i've created the net.tun0 symlink

I saw that. 5" by 3" is far too big for a case badge.

well that's the only place I can think of.

what's a case badge :O

you know those "Intel Inside" stickers or "Designed for Microsoft Windows XYZ" stickers you see on off-the-shelf computers all the time? Those are case badges.

oh, neat :O

yeah, I want a Gentoo case badge for my laptop

http://ztechshop.net/badges/index.php?pagenum=2

where does gentoo get the network interface information from?

1" x 1"

nice.

udev

Can someone help me get my volume buttons on my laptop work, dont know where to start

and, how can someone with the exact usb id as the wireless card have 802.11b instead of 802.11g

majorjrk, check the wiki for multi-media keys

network stuff is /etc/conf.d/net

kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel what can be the problem?

i thought those were unique

drazak, after a emerge system, init must be in the system, right?

hm

2 reasons, either you're using genkernel and didn't specify realroot, or you didn't specify root

i specifyed root=md3

root must be a device node

ok

ie /dev/hda3, /dev/sdb2 etc…

hrm. do ethernet cards need configuration?
or are they mostly plug and play

hmm, so i have to map em myself, with kde on ubuntu it worked default, so my guess is i just miss some packages..

what could i check if I can't telnet to my local system via ssh. or telnet is refussing connetion when I am logged in from renote. thanks..

transient, i spec bad boot device
sorry
now works

anyone have experience with tom lord's arch

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5#doc_chap1 should have a 5a saying where on the livecd stage3 would be

hrm

quit

whats wrong with you?

there… irssix is much happier now

its been going for about 20 hours now

irssix??

Small byte count, I guess.

yes -_-
— idiot

next n hours go to emerge gcc

!!! BAD COUNTER in 'sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.2' \ !!! COUNTER data is corrupt in pkg db. The values need to be \ !!! corrected/normalized so that portage can operate properly \ !!! A simple solution is not yet available so try #gentoo on IRC
Anyone have any experience with that?

neopetius

im with seespotrun

Does `emerge portage` work?

anyone still used 'gem' lately?

I've decided to move this computer upstairs :O

that's what comes up when I run 'emerge portage'

ill move this comp downstairs then

so I can have ethernet :O

I see.
How about `emerge –sync`?

'emerge –sync' suggests I run 'emerge portage'

this computer has no ethernet, however… if I transfer a card from another computer, should it be nearly plug & play internet with dhcpcd?

Nice feature. So what happened to your system that might have caused this?
Ought to be, yes.

neat

I'm not sure… I've just been walking through the handbook installing on my laptop

:O
i've learned the hard way that linux does not forgive
typing errors and the like

It's a new system? In that case, did unpacking the stage3 tarball succeed completely?

this error is occurring when 'emerge portage' tries 'merging sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.12 to /'
I believe so
if this is not something you've seen/heard before, I'm tempted to just start over

Hm. will I have to reconfigure "net" if I use ethernet?

If it's not too much trouble. On the other hand, you might try in a more specialist Gentoo channel.

I'll try from scratch. Thanks for your help — I'll be back to ask for a specialist channel if it fails

Maybe there is a solution.
It's a known problem, despite what emerge itself says.

Do you have a link to a thread somewhere about it?

Still looking for one.

heh… thanks again for your help.

Please /join #gentoo-portage.

sure

How might I use a ebuild from bugs.gentoo.org?

was it really that hard to have slotted expat libs, so the users wouldn't be forced to recompile a lot of apps without previous notice? Just like having slotted gcc's

in short yes

one day you sync and bang, you find out you HAVE TO recompile a half of your system
uone day you sync and bang, you find out you HAVE TO recompile a half of your system/u

with ebuild?

lack of warning by portage is just one of a number of issues involved in this expat upgrade

well, it's a txt file now I guess
how do i make that into something emergeable?

I see; for now I just masked the new expat - I don't have any time to go through this

just like ebuild merge file
or something
ebuild man has all the info
ebuild file command.. ie. ebuid yahoo.ebuild merge

ah
i see
i'll check out the man

the merge command does, setup, compile, install, qmerge, you can do those one by one if u want
but the merge command is what u need i suppose

yeah
er, how do I download this ebuild?
it's at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142651

just click and download?
some reason paste wont work on my screen and cant start X cuz im compiling gcc so i cant check that out

i see
well, there's a text file herre
do i save that as a certain type?

thats it
as an ebuild
its just a normal textfile i think

so, i should save it as (buildname).txt?

try to save it as a file.ebuid and try running ebuild file.ebuild setup ?

ah

buildname.ebuild

not to mention that I would have had no clue what to do if I hadn't come to irc; so is it irc a condition of running gentoo? shouldn't the expat matter be adressed by the GWN?

okay
ebuild file.ebuild merge, or ebuild file.ebuild setup

i havent a clue

im installin gentoo right now and emerge is telling me 3 configure files are in need of updat and when i do emerge –config it returns config can only take a single package atom at this time how do i resolve this?

well, try setup first…tho merge will stop if setup fails

etc-update

etc-update is a small frontend to do all them configs

emerge –config is a different system. You need a config file management utility like dispatch-conf or etc-update

wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=117501 -O islsm-9999.ebuild

and if ur just doing instll its usually ok to just update all

drc822 neat, i'll read up on the man page a bit

There are pages on gentoo-wiki.com (an unofficial, user-editable site) that contain info on both these packages

i've never used ebuild.. thats what i just did

ah, neat

-O is outfile?

yep

are all of them islsm-9999?

aw crap now im even more confused

cause I see different ones, some crossed off

just run etc-update
its quite self-explanotary
(sorry for my spelling)

no idea, I just added that as the last item on the bug page (labelled "updated ebuild" or something) appears to be a download from git ebuild. These are generally give a very high version (ie: 9999) because they are straight from the source tree and not a specific release version

do u have ruby / gem installed?

now it returned 1) /etc/dispatch-conf.conf (1) Please select a file to edit by entering the coresponding number. (dont use -3 -5 -7 or -9 if your unsure what to do) and thats the only options it gives me

select a file by 1 2 or 3
then it gives u a listing of the file, q to quit and select if u want to update or not

ah, thanks, I was looking for the "updated ebuild" one. thanks a bunch for your help - and to use it, ebuild islsm-9999.ebuild setup should work?

ah ok

and if ur just on the install phase, im sure u can just copy the update over the existing one

yep, or ebuild islsm-9999.ebuild qmerge to install it fully

ah qmerge
afterwards, i can emerge islsm-9999 to install the driver?

ruby, rub-config & rubygems installed — probably for amarok, that's the only thing I know of on my system that uses ruby

its qmerge?
could u try gem install fcgi?

ok, to use emerge the ebuild needs to be place in a category in the portage tree (eg: sys-kernel) and then in a directory under that category (eg: sys-kernel/islsm)

qmerge only install the installed file to the filesystem
so i'd say merge does that all

the problem here is that portage will remove your changes to the portage tree at the next emerge –sync

:O
then, how would I go about installing this driver?

ebild file merge
ebuild even

so you need to create a local overlay and add your ebuild into there, in a category, then include the overlay in /etc/make.conf and then emerge it

:O
no clue on how to do that
how do I create a local overlay?

Why is this stage1 tarball missing /usr/share/zoneinfo?

why not just do ebuild file merge?

you can still use ebuild, read the man page on ebuild. emerge just calls ebuild for the various steps

there should be no stage1 file

what's ebuild file merge do?

I'll give fcgi a try (that's the package name)

ye
just need to know if it should take 3 hours before i quit it
or if its broken and whatnot

add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to your /etc/make.conf

so, ebuild islsm-9999.ebuild merge will install it?

that's news to me

so i'd think

where should I put the ebuild?

2007.0 still has a stage1, and /usr/share/zoneinfo is missing

no its doesnt

which ebuild ?

on my local mirror it does

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142651 kobazik

yeah? hmm.. mine doesnt
either way stage1 is no longer supported
its stage3 u need

why exactly?

well, it just isnt.. i dont know why
stage1 and 2 are used by the dev's when they build stage3

…stupid.

stage3

can i find an iso for amd 64 universal ono which io can resume download

I'd rather have a compiled-for-proc made from a stage1, is that a crime?

u can still start with stage1 if u want
well, it really doesnt help u any
just build the whole system again after ur done with stage3
i was meaning to do the same as u a few days ago, but then decided there really is no use
??

I disagree. I think -march=pentium3, et al helps a lot

i have a bug on a diskless node starttup

any ideas?

yeah, but u can do that

obviously no error, how can i print the EXACT execution order of init.d ?
it fail right after local

just rebuild the whole system if u want to

actualy maybe it works

check out a i686 minimal iso and start from there

is the minimal .iso the only available installer for amd64 ?

this box probably isn't the best to estimate compile times, it's only an old AthlonXP @ 2GHz

you didn't answer to me which ebuild ?

but i don't know

could be.. i dont know
hey, this is p600 with 64megs

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142651

i am looking at a installer that i can download and use in many systems

Hey would somebody try 'less /bin/bash' and tell me what's going on?

islsm-9999

u could get the minimal and package isos?

/bin/bash is an executable… not something you yourself read…

ok, emerging now, I'll let you know how it goes (got distcc switched on so the dual core intel in the lounge will help )

emerging? u mean gemming? or does that use emerge too?

I know, but it's spitting out plain text about Elf headers or something!

I don't see that behavior here…

maybe thats what i should do .

I just went emerge ruby-fcgi, that's not what you wanted?

blocks?

never liked the live cd's

no, gem install fcgi

ok, I'll give it a crack

emerge ruby-fcgi is quite different
i just need to know if the gem repo works or if my box is just so slow on that

but there seems to be no package iso for amd64

hmm.. well, then i really cant help you

I'm afraid I don't fully understand

there is a livecd amd64 atleast on .fi mirror

there ya go

how do i add something to X startup programs ?

.xinitrc
sorry majorjrk

hats fine , maybe i will go with the live cds , thought i dont really like thme . I wonder why would such an os with so much effort into it be void of something so simple.

well, u have the minimal and the live.. what else do u need?
u can start the live without X and what not

live is something which boots from the cd rinto the desktop right ?

well, yeah, but as i said, it has kernel options

something whch doesntboot into the desktop , but which has an installer from where you can install x and packages

ie. nox
then its the livecd installer
or minimal if u have a network connection on all boxes

Hi peeps. Does anyone know of a way to keep emerge's list of packages to be installed so that I can go fix something and then carry on from where I left off? Like with –resume, but I want to be able to use emerge in the meantime

put it into /usr/local/portage/net-wireless/islsm/islsm-9999.ebuild

mayeb i misunderstood . I thought the livecd is something like a ubuntu livecd where you have to boot into the desktop to install , which could be really slow

once I emerge'd fcgi it took about 2 seconds to do gem install fcgi

neat, and add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to /etc/make.conf

look at the livecd boot options

how can i stop init.d/modules too

imho there a nox clause that wont start X
but i still prefer the minimal

/usr/local/portage exists ofcourse

ok, thanx.. then there's something amiss on my system

so whats the problem ?

hmm? if I add that line, it should work?

it freezes on bulk something something

nice , yeah i would have gone with minial but i haveto install it on places where we have 128 kbps connection

"Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org" ?

what do you mean? if I add that, will it prevent –sync from changing back the settings?

yeah.. i think the livecdinstaller has the packages
yeah

add the line and mkdir -p /usr/local/portage

thank you drc822

tho, it was yesterday.. maybe the host was down
np

under make.conf?

and put islsm-9999.ebuild into /usr/local/portage/net-wireless/islsm/islsm-9999.ebuild

ah

could be that i have so little ram too

do I still have to change make.conf?

i'd need some more of this really old SOSDRAM

yes, add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to /etc/make.conf

http://pastebin.com/m21d556b5

then emerge, and it should work?
emerge islsm?

yep

or emerge islsm-9999

emerge islsm

cool! thanks a bunch for your help

what is that islam pack anyhow?

n/p

it's a driver for my wifi card :O

ok

and, how would I go about installing a .arm file?
it's firmware for the device as well :/

anyhow, im off again

is there a way to get ride of modules init ?

http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/index.html

that's the one :O

check section regarding firmware

i use these, though
http://www.prism54.org/newdrivers.html

What should happen when I run "hpijs"?
My cups suddenly stopped working and it won't talk to my printer

the ebuild mentions prism54.org/filmware and gives several versions - do these versions have to be available or will they be downloaded?
under http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=117501

Check the cups configuration. hpijs/hplip recently got updated and the update changed the way printers are referenced

hmmmm

damnit my laptop powered off again while compiling the kernel and i checked its not running real hot or anything… any ideas?

is there a way, or an app, that can create a snapshot/image of my linux based hosting services machine *while it's still running* ?

harddisk image?

yes
can dd do it while my machine's still running ?

I don't think that's possible unless you have one of those fancy new filesystems

again?

hehe, nah, just a simple ext3 FS

try putting some ice in a bag and wrapping a towel around that and put your laptop over it…
or put it over a surface with holes

does your laptop have any temperature sensors you can switch on with gkrellm? also, smartd ?

hmm i got the laptop lifted up on a cd jewel case so the fan is off the table
i dont think so its an old compaq evo n600c

how long is it taking to compile?

try getting one of them air pressure cans, and see if you can blow out some dust

fanspeed program does work on it in windows for the tempurature guage at least… it was going for a good 3 mins or so
the compile… when it starts powering off

yeah, removing dust can do wonders
my computer used to crash every 30 minutes or so

Hi peeps. Does anyone know of a way to keep emerge's list of packages to be installed so that I can go fix something and then carry on from where I left off? Like with –resume, but I want to be able to use emerge in the meantime

after a quick clean it's all good
try using a vaccum cleaner? or a brush or something
to remove the dust

is it posibile that seence the ebuild scripts are getting wors and wors in quality ?
i never had so much problems to update my system.
my laptop i can't update anymore too

hi! is it possible to restore files?

and now my PC

ok

i lose the trust to gentoo, i tought it is a quite good system but seence a few year it is getting quite bad

anyone ever have a problem updating mozilla-firefox to 2.0.0.6 and gnome-vfs FAILS to compile?

how so?

hi! is it possible to restore deleted files?

_quip lots of ebuilds fails in last time i have this impression
i tried to make a sysupdate and it fails al 10 packages

DarkRyu, ok now nothing is opening

but it is not my first update and normaly it runs good

DarkRyu, this happened to me before SHIT.. nothing wants to run

language.

sorry.

_quip: are the words libexpat involved?

generally not, especially with journaled filesystems

no it's not

how do i check to see if i can use temperature sensors in bash?

XML parser?

YES

whats this deal with libexpat? i've been hearing that alot? it happens on sync and sysupdate?

XML parser failed

err, what do you mean?

mzbot, teach _quip expat

expat-2.0.1 is not ABI compatible with earlier versions. Run the following in bash to fix: "emerge -n1 '=portage-2.1.2.12' portage-utils && emerge -qep world | grep –color=never -oFf (scanelf -plRBF '%F %n' | awk '/libexpat.so.0/{print $1}' | xargs qfile -qC | sort -u; echo -e
"libtool\ncurl") | xargs emerge -1". If a specific package fails, "/msg mzbot remerge-deep" for advice (gtk+/pango are common offenders).

well twice i have tried compiling the kernel i set up and both times my laptop has powered off during the compile

also see mzbot

friendly12345, that will help the problem?

people seem to think its over heating but i know ive seen it run hotter

i tried that

maybe check your power management settings in BIOS?

and now i get media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.10 failed

friendly12345, so running this, my XML Parser will be fixed?

that's a yes, most likely it will
rafb.net paste it

well its running off of AC so ACPI shouldnt be killing it right?

could that have something to do with the fact that emerge wants to install glibc and gcc all tho i have them installed and still it says they are [N]ew?

huiiii have to see if i have links or something like that

depends, most BIOSes can be configured to power off even on AC…you could also try acpi=off or acpi=on when booting the CD, basically flip what you've been trying

friendly12345, so if i just emerge XML hosting Parser, it won't fix anything correct?

am i the only one that has a broken subversion?

ie. if you've been booting with acpi=on try acpi=off and vice versa
define broken

indeed!

yes, that's right

ok

why not?

well, first i got the expat error, which is fixed now, but the last package subversion fails with: /usr/lib/libapr-1.so: undefined reference to `pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol@GLIBC_2.4'

also since it croaked in the middle of compling the kernal will it cause problems if i get to where i was and just do make && make modules_install again? or do i have to delete something?

linux tends to use space wherever it is or was available, not always in order or next to each other, so there's no practical way to piece files back together

er what was the question? is there are new glibc/gcc version out?

hello people

I say linux, because I don't know any filesystems other than fat where recovering deleted files is trivial

if i emerge sudo for once, it wants to emerge glibc and gcc and says that they are [N]ew
and i do have both of em installed

is it useful to do RHCE from job point of view ..if one is to be involved with Linux for all his career

so its not [u] but [n]

try ##linux
revdep-rebuild doesn't find anything broken?

i wanted to know take of gentoo community

friendly12345, it's currently running that whole line emerge -n1 '=portage-2.1.2.12' portage-utils && emerge -qep world | grep –color=never -oFf (scanelf -plRBF '%F %n' | awk '/libexpat.so.0/{print $1}' | xargs qfile -qC | sort -u; echo -e "libtool\ncurl") | xargs emerge -1
friendly12345, i hope this fixes it.. i have too many documents on this computer..

nope, the only thing it wants is subversion as of the expat error

sorry, this isn't a polling place, you could try #gentoo-chat though

what glibc and gcc versions?

i have no posibility to past

friendly12345, it didn't work.

mzbot, teach DarkRyu paste

Use http://rafb.net/paste or emerge wgetpaste. Pasting in #gentoo itself clutters the chat and will get you kicked by Naamah. Use the aforementioned site and hand us the URL so we can check it out.

well,i have 4.1.1 installed and it wants to install 4.1.2
about the same for glibc

well, you could try rebuilding apr I guess

there's nopaste as well

hi

so i doubt that sudo really needs that 0.1 upgrade

already been there

hmm

copy past does not work and i work in a console have after trieing to update my sys no X anymore

emerge wgetpaste or nopaste

i will try if i can compile that

ah, but I think it does

how come?
same goes for a lot of packages.. like xpdf and suspend2-userui

it's ext3

well I think that's what equery deptree is telling me, you might want check the ebuild itself just to be sure

how do i use wgetpaste. sorry there is no manual

well.. hmm
well, i suppose ill just wait for N hours to see when gcc and glibc are done.. need to go out anyhow

heh i wonder
i think it might have been that i didnt hit a key for awhile so it might have tried to enter hibranate or something like that…. i doubt it but im just sitting here thinking of wierd outlandish possibilities…

can i somehow do that 'tar xvfz http://site/file.tar.gz -C /homedir` will actually download and unpack the package ?

yeah, wget -O - http://url | tar -xzv

http://rafb.net/p/HGhdmM66.html here is the error with the quicktime, maybe someone can help me

cool!

anyone?

I have trouble with one package that is masked (gnomevfs-sharp), is there a way to see the whole chain of packages that pulls it in?

did you alredy unmask the package ?

No, I want to remove things that require it instead, I don't want to unmask a lot of packages (at least try to avoid it). That's why I want to see the reason why it is pulled in

oh so i missunderstood your question sorry

wahoo!! screenlets, knotes & superkaramba all working as widgets, on a widget layer with compiz-fusion!

no problem, I was probably not so clear.

Hi. What is the supported method for installing Perl modules on gentoo? Can I just use the cpan shell or will this cause package conflicts later?

[tla]: g-cpan

thx

IPtables is the predominent firewall ruleset with 2.6, isnt it?

How do i get emerge to forget a previous partial build. ie i want emerge –resume to forget it has anything to do?

has anyone ever mounted a dmg file?

[tla]: do you want to skip to the next package in the list?

Yes, I believe iptables is preferred now. I use it anyway o_o
no, i just want to forget everything in the list

[tla]: whats the best way to see if i have it enabled in the kernel?

as it happens, the packages in the list have since been installed so i dont need the list anymore

[tla]: then just don't use emerge –resume, next time you want to emerge something, just emerge it

What happens if you type iptables –list ?

[tla]: it will replace the list next time you emerge something

[tla]: command not found :/

Then you don't have user space support, never mind kernel support

[tla]: heh, yup, installing the package now

It seems to do the new emerge and still remember the old partial emerge; hence the reason i want to get rid of it

[tla]: emerge –resume resumes the last emerge that was run

If you type "zcat /proc/config.gz | grep IPT" you will see the IPTables flags for IPv4 and IPv6. They need to be set to "Y" or "M" (for v4, v6 or both depending on your networking needs), but not just these, others too.
You can see the other flags with: zcat /proc/config.gz | grep _NF_

hi there

I see a lot of 'Neighbour table overflow' in my logs. Any ideas where they could come from?

also, check out http://www.netfilter.org/ and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies

what flags for that quicktime package?
also what version of ffmpeg installed?
also you might want to try again without -finline-functions in your cflags

hmm anyone knows howto figure out the ram size of the dimms? without tools like lshw or stuff?
